For most people when they loose their job it can be devastation for most Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Consider how your attitude towards work would be if you have 2 years of expenses in cash in
a "I might get fired account". The answer is simple, you would think 24/7 YOU are the boss. None the less, loss no matter where or when it happens is a bitter pill to swallow. The older the worse it is. We all seem to want to be attached in some form or fashion. I never allow attachments so for me loss is no big deal. I guess my trade off is the warm fuzzy feeling you get when you attach VS. the devastation of loosing down the road.
Juan Williams was fired this week from NPR for what they thought was off color comments about Muslims.
You can debate this all day. Political motivations, rights of employers with contract workers, decent things to say and do in the work place but at the end of the day Juan had a loss.EGO real bruised as he is a very likable man on national TV. Financially he did better as FOX stepped up and gave him a new contract and his EGO will be eased by the out pouring of affection of so many.
At the end of the day it is still about attachments. If he gets into the warm and fuzzy bed with FOX stay tuned. I don't advocate this HARD distance between people and the forming of relationships.
I just say make sure you have lots of money in the bank and work each day like it is your last!

Acts Of Desperation
With about 3 weeks left between mid-term elections the REAL ugly faces of the campaigns are starting to show. Across the country reports are starting to show acts of desperation on the part of candidates who are trailing the polls.
In California the Jerry Brown camp has resorted to name calling (She is a whore) referring to Browns political nemesis Meg Whitman. How tragic but the interesting thing here in this election is that feminist have run to Brown despite the inroads that Whitman has made for women in Cali.. and is pro-choice..what more do they want. Oh it must be she is married to a man..that will throw out the NOW endorsement every time.
And then the Witch of Eastwick..give me a break..yes they are still pounding those drums on SNL.
What would those writers do if they didn't have political fatter to pander to.
Looks like so far the house going back to the Republicans is a certain...Senate is so close to call..
But there have been recently some Repubs voting with some Dems and vice versa on issues so close might be a win after all..
Remember though be careful what you wish for...to make a budget balance you have to not only hold revenue steady if you don't want to raise taxes but the almighty slashing of the budget must take place..
Louisiana has gotten more pork over the years than any other state...free spending here with Katrina and now the BP oil spill...all that has helped the Louisiana economy survive sluggish oil prices in this recession...
You just never know!

Health Chickens Come Home To Roost
It is more apparent now than ever before that the Obama Health care will soon turn into the biggest debacle since prohibition.
Today many people are receiving notices that the "Advantage Plans" that third party administrators have for years relied on are now being terminated around the country.
The health care bill mandated that there will be no money as part of cutbacks to fund this any longer. So the speeches that were giving by Obammi on the stump now have really turned into bold face LIES."If you like the plan you have now you will be able to keep it with no added cost"
It is heart breaking to hear people calling on morning talk shows crying as they have gotten these letters
telling of all this confusion. What person at age 75 wants to face added cost and a change in routine of care at such a vulnerable age.
This month Congress adjourned with no budget, to action on tax legislation set to expire, no update on thousands of people not being given money by BP adjuster and most of all a government who lies and has no accountability to the elderly.
Lesson learned...Point taken....
